  • I took the Learning & Mastering ToolBook CBT from Platte Canyon and found it to be most helpful.
  • All of us ToolBook account managers for Click2Learn are anxious for the Instructor 2004 L&M to be released. We count on your CD for our customers who aren't able to attend a training or wish to have material for just-in-time training. Keep up the excellent work!
  • Definitely get Platte Canyon's Learning & Mastering ToolBook CD-ROM training course. The great thing about it is that it covers beginner to advanced topics so while you will find it valuable today in getting started with ToolBook, you will also refer to it in the future when you are interested in learning more about OpenScript and some of the more complicated aspects of ToolBook.
  • We've used the Learning and Mastering ToolBook Instructor CBT by Platte Canyon and found it well worth the modest investment.
  • I realized after the first hour of so of spelunking through the Learning & Mastering CD that I've wasted untold hours previously not knowing what the heck I was doing! Why didn't we buy this stuff sooner? (I'm bruised from kicking myself.) I could not be more impressed with what you've put together here. It has helped me enormously in the brief time I've been able to use it so far!
  • There seemed to be a lot of attention and detail in the tutorial and plenty of demonstrations and interactive experiences for the learner. Overall, we would say that this is a worthy investment. There is really nothing like it on the market and it is sure to become popular quickly.
